Florida State Continues Its Rebirth With Victory in Chick-fil-A Bowl

Filed under: , ,


ATLANTA -- Florida State knocked South Carolina freshman sensation Marcus Lattimore out of the Chick-fil-A Bowl on the opening possession.

"It was a great hit, but not my best ever," FSU cornerback Greg Reid said. "I can hit harder. I just wish I could get bigger."

Generously listed at 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds, the sophomore was big enough to make the difference as the Seminoles claimed their first 10-win season since 2003 in coach Jimbo Fisher's first season replacing the legendary Bobby Bowden.

Reid leveled Lattimore after a short pass on the Gamecocks' sixth play Friday night in the Seminoles' 26-17 win, causing the first fumble of the running back's career.

"He thinks he's 7-foot-3 and 380 pounds," Fisher said. "... It was a good, clean hit."

"It was a bad play for us and a big play for them," South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said.
